National IoT LPWA Network

Devices on the Sigfox National IoT LPWA Network spend most of their life sleeping. The device wakes up to transmit a message and then goes back to sleep.

Each message consists of a 12 byte data packet (8 byte downlink) and is received by multiple base stations, where it is then sent to the Sigfox cloud. A pass-through mechanism, the Sigfox cloud then sends the message to the customer’s backend platform.

As a public, global IoT network, there is no additional setup, maintenance costs or operating costs. Wherever there is Sigfox connectivity across the world the device will be connected.

The messages that are sent across our IoT network are 12 bytes or smaller, which keeps the subscription cost low and device battery’s life long. To put that into perspective of what types of messages you can send, GPS coordinates are 6 bytes, temperature is 2 bytes, and speed is 2 bytes.
